His methods and his version of Indian history have been rejected by some people. Nevertheless, none of them provided any concrete reasons aginst the observations made by PN Oak. However, his findings corroborate to the works done by several other researchers, who have added more information to PN Oak’s research. Some of them are -

Regarding Taj Mahal and Tejo Mahalaya:

   * "The question of The Taj" by P.S. Bhat and A.L.Athawale [Itihas Patrika, Vol. 5 1985] — "Authors - This paper attempts to place in perspective some of the pertinent questions that arise on the subject"
   * "Was the Taj Mahal a Vedic Temple? The Photographic Evidence" by Stephen Knapp — "Author - These photographs are taken from an album that was found and then smuggled out of India. On the back of each photo there is a stamp mark that says, "Archaeology Survey of India." This signifies their authenticity and that they were the property of that institution. This means a number of things: That the Archaeology Survey of India (ASI) has been researching the evidence that proves the Taj Mahal and many other buildings were not of Muslim origin, and that they know this information but remain silent about it. It also shows that in spite of this evidence they refuse to open up further research that would reveal the true nature and originality of the buildings, and lead to understanding another part of the real history and glory of India."
   * "Taj Mahal and the great British conspiracy" By V.S.Godbole [Itihas Patrika, March 1982] — "Author - My paper 'Taj Mahal- Simple Analysis of a Great Deception' was appreciated by some prominent European scholars in 1980."

Regarding Christianity and Vedic roots:

   * "The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ" by Nicolas Notovitch — "Author - This document reveals that Jesus Christ spent those "missing years" unaccounted for in the Bible, between the ages of 13 to 29, in India and Asia."
   * "The Autobiography of Jesus of Nazareth and the Missing Years" by Richard G. Patton — "Among his many travels, Jesus studies in India. Here he learns and masters the Vedic texts of the High-Caste Brahmins. ... [From Author] This novel is the cumulative work of almost twenty years. The material has been researched extensively, both through academic sources and in the countries of Israel, India and Egypt."
   * "Jesus Lived in India" Holger Kersten's — "Book Description: Presents irrefutable evidence that Jesus did indeed live in India, dying there in old age"

Besides these, abundant research has been done regarding the Vedic culture of Mithraism in Roman Empire which subsequently gave rise to the papal authority.

On 2000-07-14 the Supreme Court in New Delhi dismissed a petition brought by Oak that sought to force a declaration that a Hindu king built Taj Mahal, as he has claimed. The court reprimanded the petitioner.[3] In 2005 another petition brought by Amar Nath Mishra was also dismissed.[4]
